I just got back from seeing the movie. Birthday present from a friend (w00t I'm 19 yesterday). Anyway, I went in expecting the kind of action movie you'd see if someone payed for it or the kind of movie you'd sit and watch if somebody rented it and you had nothing better to do. Turns out I was right as far as my opinion goes...
The CGI was great, the action was really well done and the camera angles were pretty well thought out in some scenes.
But thats all the movie had to offer.
The acting was all really corny and over the top, a majority of the non-action cinematography had that fake hollywood feel to it..the plot and story lacked depth, it tried to add some with gimmicky crap like the "Hot girl from school falling in love with the dorky guy" arc, which is in almost all movies containing some sort of interplanetary tyrany on Earth... But alas, Shia LeBouff plays the roll well, it was written for him, I just don't think it fit the overall film. The movie was funny when it needed to be serious and serious when it needed to be funny. It didn't add up well.
All in all decent movie for the action, I'd watch the action scenes again, but not the rest. Its worth a viewing but its nothing to look back on in ten years.
